Re: Sealants vs Coatings
Hi all thanks for your input, interesting.
I don't have a machine to remove to recoat, so is the Can Coat the only product to use for this?
I would like to try it. Is there anything out there that I could use.
Thank you

Of all the coatings I have used (Cquartz, CQUK, Sonax CC36, Gloss Coat, Gyeon Syncro, PBL V2, Ameriarmour), I have not had a single issue with water spots. That includes the cars being dirty and being rained on. Even my mom's car that has CanCoat and is parked under a tree was never spotted from all the junk that falls from the tree.

Pick some up. If it is still going strong there is no reason to remove it. Pick up some Gyeon Cure and you can maintain it for a longer period of time.
You can polish later to remove whatever old CanCoat is still on the paint and add another fresh coat. Hand polishing should be able to remove it.
You should also consider picking up a machine to machine polish. Makes the job a whole lot easier.
If you are not ready to go the CanCoat route then perhaps the new Blackfire SiO2 spray sealant is something to consider.

Can Coat would be a great way to start! I use Can Coat on my wheels. It is very easy to apply!

Re: Sealants vs Coatings
Hi thanks again
Can Coat can be polished by hand then reapplied.
Does it have a maintenance e.g. spray say every 2 weeks. Bit like a spray wax over a sealant, I use Meguiars Ultimate Wax, with the Ultimate Spray wax every 2 weeks.
Power to a machine is tricky for me.
Thank you

Re: Sealants vs Coatings
I live in an area of SoCal with bad water spotting and paste sealants seem to do better with spotting then coatings.
This is just as far as coatings are concerned with spots. When it comes to other like shine, durability and those type things the coatings last much longer.

Sealants vs Coatings
I heard many good things about Sonax Spray Seal by locals here which claim will work better than my all time favorite sonax PNS & BSD.

When the clear coat fails on the non-metal areas it cracks and peals off in big sheets rather than the typical clear coat failure of turning milky white and degrading away.
I’m planning on using a coating that claims it has uv blockers and a no rinse wash that also has uv blockers in it. I’m just not sure that the UV is causing the failure.
Will a coating work better to preserve my paint? Is the sealant applied annually the way to go? I’m not able to strip the van, I have a hard time doing anything but wiping the sealant on and off the top, it’s not going to see the buffer ever after the last $3000 paint job.
Am I doing the right procedure for the sun/heat/pollution that you find in Houston or am I just stuck repainting my 18 year old fan every 7 years?

In your situation I would definitely go with a coating. If you were closer I would help you out. IMO you should go over the paint with at least a finishing pad and a paint cleaner before coating.
